Record Heat Sweeps Eastern and Southern Cities
A mid July heat wave lingered across the eastern third of the nation with many cities reporting record temperatures into the 90s and above 100. Cooler air from the Great Lakes region moved eastward toward New England, ending the heat spell temporarily. Showers touched parts of the Northeast, while 95 in Boston and Richmond and Atlanta marked high readings. The southern belt reached 109 in Yuma and 108 in Red Bluff with 100 in Laredo and 107 in Phoenix. Some rain fell in Louisiana and Mississippi as thunderstorms rolled across the Dakotas and southern plains toward Missouri, Illinois and Indiana.
